Hello, I’m Jacqueline.
I am a licensed psychotherapist offering Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in Ventura, California. I am also a mindfulness meditation teacher, clinical nutritionist, and writer. Beyond credentials, I am simply a human being devoted to living from truth, presence, and the wisdom of my own heart.
I work with individuals navigating grief, shame, fear, relationship struggles, and significant life transitions—threshold moments that often signal the psyche’s movement toward growth. In Jungian psychology, symptoms are not merely problems to fix but expressions of the unconscious seeking connection.
My work integrates depth and Jungian psychology with mindfulness, somatic and attachment-based therapies, and the exploration of dreams, symbols, and archetypal patterns. We attend to what is emerging beneath the surface, unconscious material, protective adaptations, and unlived aspects of the personality, and gently bring them into conscious relationship.
Embodied awareness is central to this process. The body often speaks before the mind can understand. Through presence, creative expression, and relational attunement, we restore dialogue between psyche and soma, allowing what has been split off to reintegrate into the whole.
From the intersection of depth psychology and attachment theory, the path of individuation emerges as a cyclical, unfolding process. It moves in spirals, seasons, and initiatory crossings, guiding us toward wholeness, coherence, and self-realization. This often involves encountering the shadow, grieving what was lost, and releasing identities that no longer serve.
I often work with the symbol of the arrow, pointing toward what is essential—truth, clarity, and inner alignment. It invites courage: the willingness to face difficulty without abandoning oneself. When we stay in relationship with our inner life, suffering transforms into meaning.
Ultimately, this work supports you in reclaiming your own authority and inner guidance, the Self at the center of the psyche—the one you have been waiting for.
